HELP Timing Issue!

Recommended Posts

what’s up fellas, 

 

so I’m doing my gallery gaskets on my 08 Z, and I took my timing cover off and marked where the nick was on the crankshaft and then I cranked the crankshaft it until it was on the mark. However, cam sprockets are both off just slightly and both need to be turned a tooth clockwise. Also, before when i still had the timing cover on and hadn’t done anything yet, I was trying to take off the crankshaft bolt, and I turned the crankshaft counterclockwise probably a total of 30 degrees maybe even less. But I also heard like a very faint click or two. Wondering if that might’ve been the chain. What should I do?

 

I’ll attach pictures to show how the cam sprockets are just slightly off. Wondering if I should take off the primary chain, attach a chain wrench to the cam sprockets chain and just pull it clockwise until it’s perfectly in line? 
 

I’ve only pulled the timing cover off, valve covers are still on and I’d prefer not to take them off as I’ve already done the valve cover gaskets. 
 

appreciate anybody’s help or insight!
